We expect to award several scholarships ranging from $500-$1,500. Scholarship recipients will be notified the week of April 29, 2019.

New for 2019: Early Notification Option

Students with a current FAFSA on file and demonstrated financial need who complete their Undergraduate Scholarship for Summer Study application by 11:59pm on Monday, March 18, 2019 may be eligible to receive their scholarship decision by Friday, March 29, before summer course enrollment opens.
Students without a current FAFSA on file, and students without financial need, can still submit their application by March 18, but they will not receive a decision until late April. In particular, international students who cannot file a FAFSA will not receive a decision until late April.
